Genesis Camshaft Sensor Issue

I'm having a problem with my 2014 Hyundai Genesis with a gasoline engine. It starts poorly and has reduced engine power. There's an error message about the camshaft sensor. I think it might be a defective cable or plug connection. Has anyone else seen this?

Summary of the thread

A 2014 Hyundai Genesis is experiencing poor starting and reduced engine power, with an error message indicating a camshaft sensor issue. The problem may stem from a defective cable or plug connection, but it could also be a faulty sensor. It's suggested to inspect the connections first, but ultimately, having the sensor checked and possibly replaced at a workshop is recommended to resolve the issue effectively.

Whoa, that sounds familiar! I had almost the exact same thing happen with my Genesis. Camshaft sensor problems are a real pain. Did you notice any engine misfires or stalling at all? I'm betting it's the sensor itself, but definitely check those connections like you mentioned. Could save you some serious cash.

Yes, the engine has occasionally stalled, although infrequently. What do you mean by 'the sensor itself'? Was the sensor the root cause of your issue? Should I just replace the sensor or inspect the connections first?

Okay, the stalling engine seals the deal for me. When it happened to me, I spent ages checking connectors, cleaning everything. Ended up being the sensor was just plain dead. Honestly, I'd say bite the bullet and get it checked out at a workshop. Yeah, it might cost you like 95€, but it's better than chasing ghosts in the engine bay. Could save you money in the long run!

I appreciate the advice. I'm bringing it to a workshop for diagnosis and repair. The estimated cost is about 95€, which seems reasonable. I hope this fixes it!
